Finally the last of the fittings. The shackle is made from brass tubing which is bent and the ends flattened and drilled.The only thing left to do is the frame work for the canvas dodger and awning as I want to start with the open wheelhouse. I may do a closed in conversion later.

Hi all, I have been fairly busy the past few months. I had some renovating around the house, a new bathroom and a laundry room. Also took my wife down to Florida to soak up some sun. Just got back last week and the weather is good enough to do some painting outside. I stripped down the TID superstructure and primed all the parts as you can see from the photos. What a pile of parts. Next I will do the final colour and put all the parts on for the final assembly. I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel.

And Robert the ice has been out for quite a wile and the weather has been great and we are reserving a spot on the dock for you any time you are in the area. Thinking about the next project, Any suggestions?

Hi All, Here are a few photos of the finished TID in the water. Martin you can take your pick and move them to the build tread. I have a new build which I plan to start in the fall and will start a new tread with the new build. Taking a brake now and enjoying some summer running.
